Apple hiring compiler developers for improving Swift / C++ interoperability

Interesting that it looks like just a regular "Senior Engineer" type job from the numbers; that looks like the pay band they'd put up for any ol' software-engineering job, regardless of specialization.

(EDIT: Removed a lot of extra verbiage explaining TC vs. base pay, which — thanks to the comment below — I'm realizing everyone probably already knows.)

This is common knowledge. I'm one of the comments asking about TC, but I'm aware of all you've outlined, most people on HN have gone through negotiations before.

I was asking about TC in this particular instance given the following:

1. I have never worked for Apple (but I interviewed at big US companies for remote roles, and got to the TC negotiating round with a couple of big techs).

2. THis is a very niche role and requires very niche expertise and lots of experience.

3. The current state of the industry and how it has impacted comp at big tech like Apple.

I was hoping for a better insigh given all the above, not how TC works at big tech.

Compilers are not that hard and this isn't that much of a niche role. Even C++ compilers.
